  • Patent number: 7531219
    Abstract: In at least one embodiment, the present invention relates to a stain resistant, water resistant and water repellant treated textile fabric that can be prepared by a) selecting an untreated textile fabric having a first side and a second side, b) topically treating the untreated fabric with an aqueous primary treatment composition comprising a fluorochemical textile treating agent, c) drying and curing the topically treated fabric to obtain a primarily treated fabric, d) securing at least one polymeric film to one side of the fabric, e) providing a polymeric coating on the polymeric film comprising an aqueous secondary treatment composition comprising a fluorochemical textile treating agent, f) applying flock onto the polymeric coating, and g) drying and curing the polymeric coating to obtain a secondary treated fabric.

  • Patent number: 6884491
    Abstract: The present invention provides a water repellant, water resistant, stain resistant fabric that feels like fabric rather than plastic. The fabric of the present invention is prepared by treating a fabric with at least one treatment composition comprising from about 5 weight percent to about 20 weight percent of fluorochemical(s), which is then backed with at least one polymeric film to provide a water repellant, water resistant, stain resistant fabric.

  • Patent number: 6541138
    Abstract: A method of preparing a stain resistant and water repellant textile fabric comprising: a) treating a textile fabric with an aqueous primary treatment composition comprising at least about 5 weight percent of a fluorochemical textile treating agent, based on the weight of the primary treatment composition; b) drying the treated fabric at an elevated temperature to obtain a primarily treated fabric; c) providing a polymeric film on one side of the primarily treated fabric, the film comprising an aqueous secondary treatment composition comprising at least about 4 weight percent of a fluorochemical textile treating agent, based on the weight of the secondary treatment composition; and d) drying the treated fabric with the film at an elevated temperature to obtain a secondarily treated fabric.

  • Patent number: 6207250
    Abstract: A liquid repellant, stain-resistant, antimicrobial fabric. At least one composition comprising an antimicrobial agent and a fluorochemical composition is applied to a fabric such as a jacquard, to produce a treated fabric. The liquid and stain-resistant, antimicrobial, fabric essentially retains its natural texture, is durable and is easy to handle.

  • Patent number: 6165920
    Abstract: A liquid and stain-resistant antimicrobial fabric is provided that can withstand the high temperatures required for transfer printing. A coating composition comprising a copolymer composition, an antimicrobial agent and a fluorochemical composition is applied to fabric such as polyester, to produce the coated fabric. The liquid and stain-resistant, antimicrobial, printed fabric retains its natural texture, is durable and easy to handle.

  • Patent number: 6024823
    Abstract: Water-resistant, stain-repellant, anti-microbial fabrics are prepared by treating a woven fabric with a topical treating composition containing an acrylate copolymer having a glass transition temperature in the range of 10.degree. C. to 50.degree. C., a substantial amount of fluorochemical, and an antimicrobial, and curing the treated fabric at elevated temperatures. Further increase in water repellency and stain resistance is achieved by a high solids secondary coating applied to one side of the fabric only. The treated fabric retains the appearance, hand, and feel of textile material while being transfer-printable.
